Indeed Chardonnet is quite fast young driver but for sure also he hasn't race only 2 rallies....

Ah, got my own answer - slicks/wets can be mixed studs or no-studs but snow tyres have to be all 4 studded or all 4 not - simples???

Now, let's wait for the second run trough the same stages to see if Seb will react to his loss of time compared to JML. I guess it will still be difficult tyrechoice as usual.

Fair enough, but she's still very slow and it makes it dangerous when numerous cars are catching especially in the tricky conditions.
